# Krum Lovkov

# Sandford Graham

Sir Sandford Graham, 2nd Baronet (1788–1852) was an English army officer and politician. A university friend of Lord Byron, he took part in Byron's voyage to Greece in 1810–11.

## Life

He was the son of Sir James Graham, 1st Baronet and his wife Anne Moore, daughter of the Rev. John Moore of Kirkstall. He was educated at Eton College, and matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1806, graduating B.A. in 1810 and M.A. in 1813. He was with Byron in Athens in the winter of 1810.
Graham joined the Grenadier Guards and achieved the rank of captain. In 1812 he was elected as Member of Parliament for Aldeburgh. The constituency was controlled by Philip Champion Crespigny. Graham replaced John McMahon there, and held the seat for half a year to the 1812 general election. He was not a candidate in that election: while his father considered that his support for the new Liverpool administration should have meant a seat being found for Graham, Charles Long excused the Tory omission since there were other demands. Sir James then bought into the Ludgershall seat, purchasing the share held by John Townshend, 2nd Viscount Sydney, and asking Magens Dorrien Magens to resign; Sandford Graham became Member of Parliament there at the end of 1812.
During 1813 Graham voted consistently for Catholic relief, against his father's wishes; and in 1815 he was deprived of the Ludgershall seat, with Charles Nicholas Pallmer taking the place. At the 1818 general election his father relented, and Graham was back in Parliament for Ludgershall, now de facto a Whig supporter on most issues. He held the seat until 1826.
Sir James Graham having died in 1825, in 1826 Sandford held his Ludgershall interest, and on it George Agar Ellis was elected that year, it is assumed by purchase from Graham. In 1830 Graham stood himself instead, and was elected with Edward Thomas Foley. At the end of 1832 Graham left national politics.

## Family

Graham married in 1819 Caroline Langston, daughter of John Langston MP. They had three sons and two daughters.
# South Portland A-26 Invader crash

43°38′6″N 70°18′55.9″W﻿ / ﻿43.63500°N 70.315528°W﻿ / 43.63500; -70.315528
The South Portland A-26 Invader crash was the worst aviation accident in Maine history. It occurred in the historic Brick Hill neighborhood of South Portland.
On July 11, 1944, a A-26B-5 Invader of the United States Army Air Forces struck the ground during a foggy day. It cartwheeled through a government-operated trailer park, starting a fire. The aircraft's pilot and navigator were killed. In the trailer park, 17 residents were killed and 20 residents were injured.

## Background

Phillip "Phee" Russell had played basketball, baseball, and football at South Portland High School before graduating in 1939 to attend the University of Maine. Russell married his high school classmate and sweetheart in June, 1943. He was commissioned a United States Army Air Forces Second Lieutenant the same month and became a flight instructor at Barksdale Field in Louisiana. A year later, Russell received permission to visit his wife and 3-month-old daughter in South Portland as part of a long-range training mission.

## July 11, 1944

Russell's family and friends gathered at the Portland airport to await his arrival in patchy heavy fog. The airport officially closed at 16:35 because of the fog. Six minutes later, his family reportedly heard Russell's voice requesting landing instructions on the airport radio, and saw his A-26B-5 Invader appear briefly out of the fog at an estimated altitude of 200 feet. The airport instructed Russell to climb to 1500 feet, and the plane disappeared into the fog. Waiting for a radio response from Russell, airport observers saw flames and heard crash noises from the direction in which the plane had disappeared.
The aircraft struck the ground and cartwheeled through a government-operated trailer park housing families of shipyard workers at the New England Shipbuilding Corporation. Sixteen trailers were destroyed by fire and a dozen more damaged by pieces of the disintegrating airplane. Seventeen trailer-park residents died, and twenty more were injured. The bodies of Russell and his navigator, Staff Sergeant Wallace Mifflin, were found in the trailer-park wreckage.

## Memorial

66 years later, the Long Creek Air Tragedy Memorial was erected to commemorate the crash and honor the victims. A similar memorial on Deer Mountain, 100 miles to the north, marks the site of Maine's second-worst plane crash. Through coincidence, both crashes occurred on the same day.
The granite for the Long Creek memorial came from a quarry in Wells, Maine, the same quarry that supplied granite for the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery.
# Southern New England ice storm of 1973

The Southern New England ice storm of 1973 was a winter storm that caused considerable damage to trees and power lines in parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. It also affected New York State.

## Initial storm

A low pressure area formed over the southeastern United States and moved towards the northeast. It moved out into the western Atlantic Ocean and followed the east coast of the United States to just east of New Jersey and south of New England. Southern Plymouth County, Massachusetts, Bristol County, Massachusetts and Cape Cod, Massachusetts received three to five inches of rain in 24 hours that flooded basements, roadways and low-lying areas. Over the interior of southern New England, cold dense air was entrenched at the surface, and a northerly wind continued to reinforce the cold air. The storm then proceeded north through New England into Canada.

## Aftermath

Massachusetts was the hardest hit. At the peak of the storm, 100,000 homes and businesses were without power, and 4,000 homes were without heat, some for as long as 24 hours. Emergency shelters opened in Foster, Rhode Island and Scituate, Rhode Island. There was some street and cellar flooding. Total damage in Rhode Island was estimated at more than $500,000 USD in 1973 dollars.
Massachusetts also reported much damage. At the peak of the storm, 80,000 homes and businesses were without power, including 80% of Sudbury, Massachusetts. The mayor of Marlboro, Massachusetts declared a state of emergency. 20 streets in Wrentham, Massachusetts were impassable due to downed trees and utilities. A 206-foot radio tower in Framingham, Massachusetts collapsed from the weight of ice. In Arlington, Massachusetts, 35 trees were destroyed, and many old shade trees were destroyed in Concord. Total damage in Massachusetts was estimated at between $500,000 USD and $5,000,000 USD in 1973 dollars. It was the worse icing in Massachusetts since December 1968.
New York was spared the worst of the storm. The state's southeast area received five to ten inches of snow; its north, six to twelve inches; and central New York received ten to eighteen inches. On Long Island, 250,000 residents lost power, some for up to several days. Ice on the third rail of the Long Island Railroad left passengers marooned on trains for seven to ten hours.
The 1994 novel The Ice Storm takes place over Thanksgiving weekend 1973, during a dangerous ice storm.
# Montrose (book)

Montrose (Montrose: a history in the US) is a 1928 biography of James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose by the Scottish author John Buchan. It won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography in 1928.

## Background

From his undergraduate days at Oxford, Buchan had always had a fascination with Montrose, and came to feel that earlier historians had not done him justice. In 1913, Buchan’s publishers T Nelson released his first attempt at a biography, The Marquis of Montrose, which was dedicated to his brother Willie who had died a year earlier. The earlier book did not receive universal acclaim, and his old antagonist D. Hay Fleming took the opportunity to attack the author for giving insufficient credit to Argyll. Buchan’s enthusiasm for his subject had laid him open to the charge of romancing, and Buchan later admitted that many of the judgements that he had made in the work were “exaggerated and hasty”.
Over the next fifteen years he collected material for a more historically-expansive work, adding to previous scholarship with a study of the pamphlet literature of the time, and in 1928 T Nelson published the scholarly Montrose. A US printing by Houghton Mifflin also appeared, under the title Montrose: A History.
The historical research that Buchan had been doing for Montrose underpinned further works. In 1930 he gave a lecture at St Andrews on Montrose and Leadership, which was published separately. But most important to Buchan was its influence on his historical novel Witch Wood (1927), within which Montrose appears as a minor character.

## Content

Montrose is a detailed account of the life of James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose who sought to combine adherence to Scotland's 1638 National Covenant with loyalty to Charles I. As Charles's lieutenant-general in Scotland, Montrose was, argues Buchan, a skilful general during a series of Highland and Lowland battles in 1645-46, but who was ultimately thwarted later in 1646 by the disaster of Philiphaugh. Buchan then goes on to consider the aftermath, Montrose’s new campaign in the North for Charles II after his father’s execution in 1649, and his own defeat, betrayal, trial, and execution.

## Critical reception

As a scholarly edition, Montrose was widely praised. The biography is, said one later critic, presented with a reverent, dignified but not exaggerated dramatic power; while another praised Buchan’s research while expressing some regret at the loss of “good sharp phrases” from his earlier work.
A. L. Rowse considered the book to be a masterly historical biography, Buchan’s chief contribution to historical research, written wholly from original sources.
# Steve Chubin

# Minuane

Minuane were one of the native nations of Uruguay, Argentina (specially in the province of Entre Rios) and Brazil (specially in the state of Rio Grande do Sul). Their territory was along the Paraná and Uruguay Rivers. In one source, they are fully identified with the Guenoas, being actually considered the same tribe.

## About

They were related to the other tribes in the area like Charrua and Güenoa. Currently, no one claims Minuane ancestry in Uruguay. The tribe seems to be extinct in its full blooded form. However, some studies show that Minuane ancestry is present in some Argentinian people living in Entre Rios.
In 1583, the conquistador Juan de Garay was killed in battle against the Minuane nation. The Battle of Yí (batalla del Yí) occurred In 1702 in the Banda Oriental. There, 2000 Guaraníes misioneros and Spanish killed 300 minuanes, charrúas and yaros, and captured 500 more. After 1730, together with the Charruas, they attacked the Spanish invaders in Montevideo in an effort to recover their lands. In 2 campaigns in 1749 and 1750 the governor of Santa Fe, Francisco Antonio de Vera y Mujica, invaded Minuane territory and massacred them in today's city of Victoria in Entre Ríos. Many survivors were captured and translated to the province of Santa Fe, forming a reserve in Cayasta. In 1751, the governor of Montevideo, José Joaquín de Viana killed 120 Charruas-Minuane in Uruguay. Later they allied with José Gervasio Artigas, the Uruguayan national hero.
In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, there is a type of wind known as the "Minuano wind" (vento minuano).
# Maurice Mewis

# Absolut Warhola

Absolut Warhola is a 2001 Polish-German documentary film directed by Stanislaw Mucha [de] about Andy Warhol's extended family, whom he never met, from rural Slovakia.
The film follows the filmmakers as they travel through eastern Slovakia to interview Warhol's surviving relatives, ethnic-Rusyns living near the Polish border in Miková, and to visit the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art in Medzilaborce. The museum is shown to be in a poor state, with the museum director and staff openly soliciting donations from the viewer and giving out the museum's bank account details.
The living situation in the underdeveloped rural east of Slovakia prior to EU-membership is also shown. The film also notes the levels of homophobia still present in this part of the world, with several of Warhol's relatives openly criticizing the "rumours" of his sexuality (although his homosexuality is common knowledge in the West). One man even goes as far to suggest that Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist and misandrist who attempted to assassinate Warhol, was in fact a spurned former lover.
